President Hoover, wnnipil by Secretary Hyde that the exces sive l i-oii fli t is mcniirc to props niul farmers, bus riven girders that every effort he niiiile to relieve the distress. Curiously, the news of the Ull'MIll nillllllKlH in III I ,11111 Street priees. One man's poi son is another's meat. If the drought hills (train, (here won't be so much wheat; priees must go up. Priees of stocks depend large ly on grain priees. That reasoning is not com forting t'o farmers. If they have a good crop they can't get anything for it. If they haven't any wheat, they could get any price, for wheat they haven't got. -M In Ohio 100 farmers, erops wiined, eows giving no milk for lack of grass, went in a body to demand work at road building. As there were n hundred of them, the work was furnished. Those applying individually had been refused. Some "best minds" will say, i"Thal sounds like socialism; bullying officials is intimida tion." But they don't protest when railroad!) sny to the Interstate. Commerce. Commission": "We are not' making enough money. We need higher rates. " They. get higher rates. And when manufacturers arc not it ii l ied with earnings they go to the tariff tinkerers sny ilig; "We are "not making enough money; we need higher .rales." They get higher rates. But n farmer or any other man demanding a chance to work, seems, a menace. That's democratic government. Stalin says Hussia will not pay tin; czar's debts, and there is no reason why Hussia should pay them. This ought to be the last count ry to insist, on pay ment. We arc not supposed to believe in czars. If King George had issued bonds to the Tinted States be fore we got rid of him, we should not have paid them. Why expect today's rulers in Russia to pay debts of a man that spent money sending them to .Siberia or having them beat en with the knout? I'npleasant news frjum China.

Hartley, who has the con trart fin- the oavinir nnd wiiienimr of the I'acific highway, and a dele-J gat ion of orchard 1st s In the Phoenix-Talent district, beaded by j .1. C. Panics, an agreement was ' readied whereby the fruit nieti will be able to use the highway for fruit hauling. The contractor agrees to start the dally work ut four o'clock In the morning, and ceaso at one o'clock. This will leave tho route free for fruit traffic from noun until four o'clock a. in., the hours most satisfactory to the growers. Tho fruitim-n feared they would be forced to haul their pears over the Kern valley road, which t hey held was too rough and steep, for the transportation of pears, with out damaging them. Tho pear tonnage of the district represents a substantial portion of the valley output, and Includes tho Suncrest, J. I'. Harms, Ur. Spatz, and Stephen Nye orchards. It Is expected that the Pacific highway main improvement will he finished In another two weeks, when the present traffic regula tioiiri will be ended. Three other road matters were before the county court this morn ing. The matter of establishment of a survey for the Dead Indian market road, to conform to statu highway i-uIch, and tho county engineer lines, was read for the first time.

They seek changes that will eliminate 'two railroad crossings, place the road out of the reach of flood waters in the ltogue, and straighten out tho route. No definite action was taken. KesldentH of the Pleasant Creek dlHtrk-i petitioned the county court to remove a "sag" In the road, which they held was dangerous, and required slow and cautious driving to negotiate, and further more, was slippery in tho winter. The straightening of tho Central Polnt-Crutcr Lake, highway road was also a subject of slight discus sion, one service station owner qom plaining It hat ,1)10 new road lines brought the road too close to his place. The court Intimated It would be easier to movu the ser vice station than to alter tho sur vey to avoid proximity. Tho remainder of the session was devoted to routine matters and the signing of bills.
